Abstract:
HLA is a framework providing functionalities for distributed simulations. It allows creation and destruction of federations, synchronisations, sharing objects and so on, but a way to create objects dynamically is lacking.
Our aim is to develop a distributed platform for Collaborative Virtual Environment called oRisDis. This environment will be based on oRis, an agent-oriented language and simulation engine which allows agents activity management. Dynamic prototyping is provided with oRis by immersion through the language. This means that a user can modify or add agents while running. Of course, such a feature has to be kept in oRisDis.
In this paper, we present our architecture providing a framework for Distributed Collaborative applications. Its main specificity is the dynamic object management service.
Keywords: High Level Architecture, Multi Agent System, Collaborative Prototyping, Distributed Virtual Environment, Virtual Reality.
